Hi

Trying to sleep for a few hours at a time is often a problem with most people after surgery.  Some people ask for something to help them sleep, others just deal with it and go with the flow.  I just went back and forth between my bed and my recliner.

Just know that it will eventually get better.  Take a lot of naps and that will help get you thru until you can start to sleep better.

Good Luck.
